Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There is a noticeable shift towards minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, leading to a decline in publications focusing on traditional open surgical methods. - Basic Science Research:
Research focused solely on basic science without direct clinical application is less frequently published, as the journal increasingly prioritizes translational and clinical studies. - Pharmacological Studies on Established Drugs:
The journal has seen a reduction in studies centered on older medications without a novel therapeutic angle, with a growing emphasis on newer agents and innovative treatment protocols. - Geriatric Urology:
Although still relevant, the volume of research specifically targeting urological issues in the geriatric population has decreased, possibly due to the rising focus on broader age-related studies.
